About Recowa

We began with RK Hydro-Vacdedicated to the roofing business with years of roof preparation experience. In addition to RK providing a full line of roof preparation services, we are also experienced in industrial and commercial vacuuming such as plant cleaning and water filtration systems.

RK Hydro-Vac was founded in 1981 in Covington, Ohio. Initially, much of the roof work was performed manually. This was hard work, low production, and an extremely dirty environment. Through constant research and development of our equipment and technique, RK has taken the roof preparation business into the 21st century with state-of-the-art technology.
